Curmudgeon’s Corner: Puppies or Penguins or Something

This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan start out talking about talking about politics at parties, and how news junkies are different from normal people. But the main topics are the mess surrounding the possible North Korean summit, and the shameful policy of separating kids from their parents at the border.
